Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1834 Antigua became the only British colony in the Caribbean to move directly from slavery to full emancipation. Immediate freedom, however, did not live up to its promise, as it did not guarantee any level of stability or autonomy, and the implementation of new forms of coercion and control made it, in many ways, indistinguishable from slavery. In Troubling Freedom Natasha Lightfoot tells the story of how Antigua's newly freed black working people struggled to realize freedom in their everyday lives, prior to and in the decades following emancipation. She presents freedpeople's efforts to form an efficient workforce, acquire property, secure housing, worship, and build independent communities in response to elite prescriptions for acceptable behavior and oppression. Despite its continued efforts, Antigua's black population failed to convince whites that its members were worthy of full economic and political inclusion. By highlighting the diverse ways freedpeople defined and created freedom through quotidian acts of survival and occasional uprisings, Lightfoot complicates conceptions of freedom and the general narrative that landlessness was the primary constraint for newly emancipated slaves in the Caribbean.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Suddenly, there were black clouds in the sky. Everyone heard a loud noise coming from the sky and they all knew that Vorltrarr the Dragon was coming. King Aurthorr yelled out, "Daughters, Vorltrarr comes! Get ready your weapons! The time has come for you to fulfill the prophecy!" Princess Sasha, Princess Trina, Princess Alexandra and Rebecca walked up ahead of the army and lined up together in a row. They looked like warriors! Rebecca was not afraid! She took a deep breath and got her weapon ready for the task that lay ahead. She understood the prophecy now and had faith in herself and the Princesses. She was determined not to let them or the Land of Antigua down. They each pulled out their bows and prepared to kill the dragon. The Dragon Vorltrarr got nearer to the heroes! Fire came out of his nostrils and his mouth. Princess Alexandra handed each of the other girls one of the special arrows that they had gotten from the Head Centaur of the Unicorns. All four of the girls pointed their bows up into the air and waited for Vorltrarr to come nearer. Vorltrarr let out such a loud noise that the ground shook! Then fire came right out of his nostrils. The Wizard Thandorfur held his mighty wand up toward the sky and yelled, "Mighty clouds of the sky, I call upon you to bring forth lightening to destroy the Dragon Vorltrarr!" Suddenly the black clouds over the Dragon Vorltrarr began to roar like a freight train. Large lightening bolts came out of the clouds toward Vorltrarr. One lightening bolt struck Vorltrarr and wounded him but it didn't kill him!

Book excerpt: This volume uses archaeological and documentary evidence to reconstruct daily life at Betty’s Hope plantation on the island of Antigua, one of the largest sugar plantations in the Caribbean. It demonstrates the rich information that the multidisciplinary approach of contemporary historical archaeology can offer when assessing the long-term impacts of sugarcane agriculture on the region and its people. Drawing on ten years of research at the 300-year-old site, the researchers uncover the plantation’s inner workings and its connections to broader historical developments in the Atlantic World. Excavations at the Great House reveal similarities to other British colonial sites, and historical records reveal the owners’ involvement in the Atlantic slave trade and in the trade of rum and other commodities. Artifacts uncovered from the slave quarters—ceramic tokens, repurposed bottle glass, and hundreds of Afro-Antiguan pottery sherds—speak to the agency of enslaved peoples in the face of harsh living conditions. Contributors also use ethnographic field data collected from interviews with contemporary farmers, as well as soil analysis to demonstrate how three centuries of sugarcane monocropping created a complicated legacy of soil depletion. Today tourism has long surpassed sugar as Antigua’s primary economic driver. Looking at visitor exhibits and new technologies for exploring and interpreting the site, the volume discusses best practices in cultural heritage management at Betty’s Hope and other locations that are home to contested historical narratives of a colonial past.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Antigua and the Antiguans in two volumes presents a full account of the colony and its inhabitants from the time of the Caribs to modern days. The history of the Antigua island can be traced from Columbus' discovery, but the first written sources date from the early 17th century when the first settlers claimed their possessions, and were disturbed by Caribs from nearby islands. The account begins with the forming of the colony and follows the development of the island to modern days. The story of Antigua and the Antiguans is interspersed with anecdotes and legends recorded from the earliest days. The book also provides an impartial view of slavery and the free labor systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These have long been the type of islands that tourists delighted in a€œdiscovering.a€ Seemingly untouched by modern times, they seemed like the a€œolda€ Caribbean a€" small, intimate hotels, pristine beaches, uncluttered roads, with acres of cane fields and rainforests dominating the landscape. You still find hints of the old laid-back islands here, especially in the delightful plantation inns on both islands. These small hotels, built around historical buildings and sugar mills, still have a colonial charm. They are furnished with Caribbean antiques and emphasize the old-fashioned standards of warm, personalized service. So it is possible to sample both the charm of the old world and the activities of the new. Here is a uniquely detailed guide to these islands, excerpted from our much larger Leeward Islands guide. Maps, photos, complete information on all the places to stay, the restaurants, what to see and do.

Book excerpt: "The story of Antigua, its ruling family, and the corruption that has swept over the island since 1978 provides the core of this penetrating investigation of the Caribbean's dirtiest little secret. But surrounding that core is the equally disturbing account of the United States indifference to, and deep involvement with, that corruption. First brought to public light in author Robert Coram's lengthy New Yorker article about Antigua and Barbuda, these shocking truths about a presumed island paradise are now fully revealed for the first time:" "Despite its tourist-based economy, Antigua presents the greatest large-scale health hazard of any Caribbean island. Raw sewage from more than a dozen hotels and restaurants is pumped into the sea in the middle of the island's two most popular beaches." "Since 1978, the United States has spent nearly $200 million in Antigua to maintain and expand virtually useless air force and naval bases to support a friendly but bloodsucking regime." "On at least three occasions the United States Navy smuggled arms to South Africa by transshipment through Antigua, in defiance of the United Nations embargo." "The United States Embassy in Antigua, its smallest in the world, has been presided over by a charge d'affaires who has twice been investigated by the State Department." "Among the many notorious, celebrated, and shady personages who appear in the book are Robert Vesco, the fugitive capitalist who cheated investors out of more than $200 million and who is still wanted in this country for an illegal campaign contribution to Richard Nixon; Gerald Bull, the mysterious arms-building genius who was assassinated in Brussels; Rodriguez Gacha of the Medellin drug cartel; Donald and Ivana Trump; Saddam Hussein; and Rosanno Brazzi, the 1950s movie star of South Pacific, who was indicted for gunrunning. And overriding them all are the members of Antigua's ruling family, the Birds, most particularly Prime Minister Vere Cornwall Bird and two of his sons, Lester and Vere, Jr." "V. C. Bird has held power longer than any other ruler in the world; and the unfolding of his descent into ruthlessness, greed, and venality is especially dismaying. For it was he who led his people's movement for freedom from the yoke of colonialism, only to destroy the dream he helped create."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blessed with warm tropical sunshine, soothing trade winds, crystal-clear waters and lush vegetation - and with a beach for every day of the year - Antigua and Barbuda really is a little bit of paradise. And this vision of paradise is made up of palm-fringed coves in Antigua and miles of deserted beaches in Barbuda. Away from the beach, history and artistry combine in the nation's annual Carnival, where pageantry and 'pan' is a vivacious celebration of Antiguan and Barbudan culture, set to the sounds of calypso music.
